Paul Coghlan (Fine Gael)

The man to whom the Senator refers has an easy manner, he is highly approachable. I do not doubt the Senator has very important and urgent matters to put to him. The Leader of the House has already informed the House that the Minister will be here in a few weeks' time but in the meantime, the Senator can call to his office, if the matter is that urgent, or he can drop him an internal note or have one of his Dáil colleagues table a parliamentary question. There are many means open to Members. I am fed up with the grandstanding and the ballyhoo from colleagues.
